Call me crazy, but after last night's piss poor effort I'm not getting the feeling that this a team ready to compete against one of the league's elite tonight. :(

The Dinos will bounce back and win a close one.

Raps 104
Spurs 103

LET'S GO RAPTORS!

My god, Matt Devlin is annoying. It surprises me every time. How can a commentator be that irritating? It doesn't make sense.

Are the Spurs even a .500 team without Tim Duncan at this point? given how many of their players + team defense is under-performing?

Superb opportunity to steal a win away from a top team.

I think the Spurs will need a massive performance out of Ginobili tonight in order to get a win.

A big offensive night from DeJuan Blair would also be a big difference maker for them.

Oh, Tim Duncan is coming off the bench tonight. I presumed he was out injured once he wasn't in that starting lineup. Okay, Spurs are the favourites then.

Raps leading 31-19 early in the second.

Player of the Game: JJ for sure. I loved how he attacked the basket tonight and was able to find his teammates.

...And congrats to CB for becoming the all time Raps leading scorer!!! :D

JJ did play like a man possessed but I'd still have to give my vote to Bosh yesterday. Persistent all night long and even Duncan couldn't stop him. :)

Great game, great win. Now we gotta just find a way to play with the same effort against teams like the Magic and Celtics. :(

^ The Raps definitely need to find a way to win against those teams. If they do end up playing either of those teams in the 1st round it'll be a nice confidence boost to now that they can beat them. Sadly, I don't think they have much of a chance those two games. Specifically against boston. After Friday's game it's apparent that the celtics just completely own the Raps on a physical and it seems psychological level.
